FAQ

According to MIT, additive manufacturing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is the process of creating objects by building them up layer by layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing, which involves cutting away at a solid block of material until the final product is complete. While it can technically refer to any process that involves building something up, such as molding, it usually refers to 3-D printing.

According to ZipRecruiter, the average salary for an additive manufacturing professional is $51,890.
